The Brood
Directed by David Cronenberg
The Brood is a chillingly twisted masterpiece of visceral intensity, considered by many as one of the scariest and terrifying films of all time. Dr. Hal Raglan experiments with ""Psychoplasmics"", a radical therapy designed to release pent-up emotions in his patients. He keeps his best and brightest patient, ex-wife Nola, in isolation. But as she successfully vents her rage and expels her demons during the sessions a series of brutal murders will unleash a whole new breed of terror!
A dark design from the mind of David Cronenberg, The Brood is a chillingly twisted masterpiece of visceral intensity, considered by many as one of the scariest and terrifying films of all time.

Kramer vs Kramer, David Cronenberg style (Carveth vs Carveth). This felt very much like a feature-length X-Files episode minus Mulder and Scully (domestic/suburban setting, buried dark secrets, nasty murders, baffling autopsy, terrifying revelation, resolution sequel hook); I bet Chris Carter saw this.
I remember this when it was originally released - for me, a cult classic, along with Scanners, Friday 13th, Halloween, The Fury etc… (originals, not remakes)
Old score 4 out of 5 skulls
What the... reminded me of that weird music video “come to daddy”. Freaky.
Great.
